Jim Krapf Rally & Press Conference
(Oct 19, 2009)
Union officials representing Chester City Firefighters and Fire Commissioner James Johnson reached a mutual agreement Monday and ended the conflict over the display of a decal of the American flag on a locker. A rally was held outside the fire house in support of Firefighter James Krapf before and during the meeting between the Union, Commissioner Johnson, City officials and Jim Krapf. Jim was suspended last week after he refused to remove an American flag decal from the front of his locker. A directive, which required firefighters to remove all decorations off their lockers was ordered by Johnson after one of the department’s firefighters posted a cartoon that other members found offensive. A press conference was held in front of the staion following the meeting, announcing that Jim would be re-instated, and that flags would be allowed to be displayed in accordance with the U.S. Flag code in a newly written directive.: 74 photo(s) (35 MB); Album was created 18 days ago and modified 18 days ago; No comments; Hits today: 0; Visitors today: 0; View album

2 Alarms, 1640 Delmar dr, Folcroft
(Oct 15, 2009)
This fire was originally dispatched as an alarm. The dispatch was quickly upgraded to the working bldg fire, with heavy fire in the rear of a large "L" shaped commercial bldg. The fire was then again quickly upgraded to a 2nd alarm. Companies were in svc with numerous master streams and ladder pipes. There was a partial collapse of the rear wall and partial roof, which did enable companies on the "C" side of the bldg to start hitting some of the fire. Crews re-entered the bldg to hit hot spots and at the 4 hr and 30 minute mark were still o/s fighting fire. I included pictures of Tower-5 with the bucket tipped as a heads up for people. The Tower apparently suffered a mechanical failure of the bucket leveler with 2 men in the bucket. When the bucket suddenly dropped, the 2 men inside were tossed around inside the bucket but not injured, "because they had their belts on". Just a heads up for any that might feel too comfortable in a bucket to think they don't need to wear their ladder belts. We can't always control when accidents happen, but we can help control the outcome by using all of our safety equipment.: 80 photo(s) (29 MB); Album was created 22 days ago and modified 22 days ago; No comments; Hits today: 0; Visitors today: 0; View album
